⁴ each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

²⁴ Let no one seek his own, but each one his neighbor's good.

¹ Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

⁸ However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.

⁶ but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea.

²² No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

²³ Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;

²⁴ whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

²⁵ that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

²⁶ When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

³² Give no occasions for stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the assembly of God;

³³ even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

¹⁵ Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.

¹⁹ So then, let us follow after things which make for peace, and things by which we may build one another up.

²⁰ Don't overthrow God's work for food's sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.

²¹ It is good to not eat meat, drink wine, nor do anything by which your brother stumbles, is offended, or is made weak.

²² Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who doesn't judge himself in that which he approves.

²⁹ Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I don't burn with indignation?

³ We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

⁴ Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

⁵ doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil;

⁹ But be careful that by no means does this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to the weak.

¹⁰ For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol's temple, won't his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

¹¹ And through your knowledge, he who is weak perishes, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

¹² Thus, sinning against the brothers, and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ.

¹³ Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat forevermore, that I don't cause my brother to stumble.
